I miss the Belle Vue days interacting with the players..I don't attend at present

Get yourself down on Friday, you don't know what you're missing! I really feel that the club are making big efforts in all areas and deserve our support.

Yes indeed, Up The Dons. My lad has seen the highlights video and wants to go and see for himself! So that's 2 more paying customers than there would have been otherwise already!

Looking at Geoff's figures, I'm quite surprised to see the biggest attendance outside the Wakefield game was for South Wales. Although the attendance this year is still comparatively small, it's still 86 up on last year's overall average, couple that with 50% more fans attending the Whitehaven game than last season,then it's not all doom and gloom.

Additionally, I would be most surprised if we don't resoundingly beat the figure of 420 we got last season for the visit of the Skolars on Friday, unless there's a blizzard

The South Wales game last year was the one massively pushed, with the hard hats handed out to everyone

That would explain it then. I am not comparing like with like. Even better news in that case.

Attendances at last weeks Championship One games

Gateshead v Whitehaven 347
N Wales v Rochdale 1047
Oldham v Barrow 1114
Workington v London 439

Total 2947 Average 736

Interesting to note the attendance at the Super League game
London v Wakefield 2268

I thought you had to attract an average home crowd of at least 6000 to qualify for a SL franchise

Well thats it then, we need to offer more P.P.E to get the fans back, maybe a free pair of work boots or a visi vest.

You already turn up to most games kitted out with a utility belt!

Bruce Wayne?
